Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The egg storage compartment of the sea urchin embryo was investigated for a protein destined for export to the extracellular matrices. Using an antiserum prepared against a 41 kDa collagenase/gelatinase localized to the extraembryonic matrices (the hyaline layer and basal lamina), the egg storage compartment was mapped for this antigen. Indirect immunofluorescence analysis revealed the 41 kDa collagenase/gelatinase in the cortical granules as well as a second compartment which was dispersed throughout the egg cytoplasm. High resolution immunogold labeling defined this cytoplasmic compartment as the yolk granule organelle. Gelatin substrate gel zymography revealed the presence of a 41 kDa gelatin cleavage activity in purified yolk granules. These results suggest a role for yolk granules in regulated protein export and challenge the traditional view of this organelle as a benign storage compartment for nutrients. In additional experiments, embryos grown in the presence of the 41 kDa cleavage activity or the anti-41 kDa antiserum had severely delayed gut formation and spicule elongation. These results demonstrate a requirement for defined levels of the 41 kDa activity in the extracellular matrices of the developing embryo.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
